[KobeIsGod]

I hate Teddy Atlas. I like Bernstien and I like Brian Kenny.

brian kenny is really good. u can really tell he loves boxing and is very objective.

[box03]

Merchant is my favorite because he tells it like it is, I also love when they have the wierd close up analysis before the fight. I hate Max Kellerman, I wish he would lose his massive hard on before interviewing most black fighters. If Max takes over Larrys job full time I will be pissed.

[jonesjrp4p1]

nothing is funnier than larrys stupid stories

[brooklyn1550]

Best: Al Bernstein

[unclepaulie]

Larry "The Legend" Merchant.

[unclepaulie]

Fuck Max Kellerman. Its not even that he dosen't know his boxing, I just hate his voice.

[Unchained]

Lampley. It just sounds big time when you here his voice.

[chimba]

I like Merchant then Lennox as analyst..play by play Lampley

[allenko1]

Larry Merchant was there last week. Does the mean that Max will be on Pacqiuao-Barrera?

If you want to hear a ral announcer, go on YouTube to the fights of the
50's, 60's, and mid 70's and hear DON DUNPHY, the best boxing announcer of all time.

He didn't side-kicks like "Lamprey" and Kellerman to reiterate the obvious.

The best eulogy for Dunphy was spoken long before he died on July 22, 1998: “Don Dunphy was not only the voice of boxing. Don Dunphy was boxing.”

Long horn youre good!, keep the knowledge flowing:good

[Brooklyn Boxer]

I like Larry and Max. There both postive and negative and they don't favor brawlers. I don't like Lampley because its obvious that he favor fighters like Jermain Taylor. After the Pavlik fight you can tell that Lampley was disappointed that JT lose by the way he looked and spoke.

Best: Al Bernstein - the best in the game, bar none. A true professional, knowledgeable and insightful and knows when to offer observations.

Worst: Max Kellerman - most posters on this board know more about boxing than this unqualified twerp. Easily the worst boxing commentator I've seen in my 30 years of following the sport. Shit, even O'Grady was better.

Shit, even O'Grady was better. I agree, it always looks like Al is a little bored when doing most fights, I dont know it could be my imagination. I hate Max cause he looks like he wants suck the dick of whoever won the fight that night, he definitely sucks.
